Tell me your worst wagecuck stories biz
i only made $230k last year
working 5 days a week for basic survival is hell on earth
Having your shift end at 11:30pm so they can legally get you to be scheduled at 6am without paying you overtime.
At least I lived 3 minutes away at the time.
army
had to ask a sergeant younger than me to go to the toilets
had to sleep in the forest like a dog
1280 euros / month
Used to work at a TCBY for $6.50/hr under then table. The job was essentially watching TV in the back room for the 7/8 hours of the day no one buys frozen yogurt. The other guy who worked there literally worked 7 days a week, 10 am to 11pm every single day for minimum wage. He lived in an apartment behind the store. He'd been doing it for over 10 years. All he did was watch baseball in the backroom. Mother fucker was going insane, baseball was his entire world. He did nothing else but sleep, eat, watch baseball, and serve yogurt all within probably an acre of land.
ive been out of a job coming up on 2 months now
my former employer went out of business and I wasnt paid for the last month and a half I worked there
for that last month and a half i dealt with nothing but screaming angry customers all day every day
one day i had so many calls come through from angry people it averaged to something like 1.5 calls a minute
sleeping in the forest is comf
can't complain as of late. Made about a grand in the past 10 days driving for lyft.
I've worked for 3.50 per hour for my shitty 3rd world currency.
Is a worst story with good ending also allowed ?
IT dude here, worked my ass off, 50 hours a week, working at night at Christmas etc. Everything to keep a very important financial data flow going within the company.
I was about to break, didn't get any help from co-workers after asking them (who barely did any work). Wanted to fix the situation, asked for technical adjustments, advice them to stop with a particular project etc.
During my yearly review I found out that the scrummaster blamed everything related to the project on me against my manager. Probably to save him self.
Manager gave me because of this a bad review.
I thought fuck them, found within 2 weeks an other job. Fucking comfy and with cool tech. They needed 3 dudes to replace me kek. Also I'm building within my new job something that will make my whole old team obsolete.

1 Brazilian Real = almost 4 fucking dollars
ops, did the wrong math
1 dollar = 3.86 Brazilian Real
so that's like working less than 1 dollar per hour lol
I was working at subway and at a pizzeria. I'd entered a sub/Domme relationship where I was wiring all the money to this woman, so for once in my life I had some work ethic and was taking all the hours I could get instead of saying "oh I have plans already.." when offered more hours. So suddenly something happened that I never thought would happen, I was up in line to become assistant manager at subway. Really a big deal to a guy like me. So I told my boss at the pizzeria and he convinced me to become """manager""" there instead.
I was told to learn *everything* about the kitchen procedures and then I'd be manager, I could hire, fire, whatever. I already knew most, so I quickly made a list of things I didn't know, and I'd crossed off that list within a week. But then I had to be better at making pizzas too, so I got in as much practice as I could with the current pizza guy cockblocking me at every opportunity.
Basically everything is my fault, and even though the place has gotten progressively busier since I started this schedule 2 years ago (we've just finished up with the "2 slowest weeks of the year" and are doing numbers like busy season) the owner still keeps the same masquerade of "wow it's really slow" as he points out the numbers in the system which don't include online orders, or cash tickets that weren't entered in the system because less taxes = 10 vacations a year for his family. So it's pretty humiliating when I'm the guy that makes the dough, the sauce, all the other big prep and I know exactly how much business we're doing and having to say "yep yep were real slow sir what a bunch of fuckoffs we are" but business is politics I suppose. Dude went and lost thousands at the casino last month, says he has to save big for next trip next month, he's trying to go with several thousand... thanks for revealing you pay yourself several thousand just in play money per month mr. "I don't pay myself"
Kek the part with your mother giving me a happy ending will I write down next week.
lol what a cuck you are
You have learned the inner workings of the game, now use that knowledge to start your own pizzeria faggot
Once I worked almost 80 hours at a restaurat in a week and they didn't pay me overtime.
I also worked for not even 2 hours at a call center selling newspapers. cold calling people to buy shitty paper. I hated it so much I started changing the peoples names to "kill yourself".
Got caught and was fired, I smiled and walked away happy.
I aim to be the best at anything I do, even at getting cucked
that's what I keep being told, I'm just hanging in here a little longer because there's a couple things in my life I need straightened out.. once I get health insurance (just gotta make the phone call) and see a doctor about my lungs just so I can find out what exactly is up with me I will be OK with leaving
I told myself if I lasted 6 months with this micromanaging fuck I'd be proud of myself. Going on 2 years come August 1. I feel like I can do absolutely anything I want now. But my #1 priority is to see a doctor
Worked in a Subway in a gas station for $5.25 during college. There was a standalone Subway store about 5-10 minutes down the road, but churches and sports teams insisted on eating at this one. Store only employed one person at a time, but the customers would get pissed that they had to wait, even if I told them about the other store (which was a no-no since they had a different owner)
Customer once yelled at me and reported me to the main company because the printer paper had warps in it
Another customer flipped out because he didn't get his precious stamp towards a free sub (we were out of them)
Drunk college kids coming in late at night were the fucking worst
I quit after 2 months
wow.
After college I struggled for a little bit, then finally got a job selling payroll services. I joined this payroll company that had about 50 employees. They offered me $35k a year and commissions so I was excited at first. My "Training" was one of the sales people going over some powerpoint slides with me about payroll for my first 2 days. On day 3 they showed me my cubicle and my phone. They just said "start calling people and knocking on business doors, to make sales".
It was fucking horrible. I had no idea what I was doing or talking about. I was cold calling 100 businesses a week and knocking on 100 business doors a week. Most people just got angry and told me to fuck off. Probably 50% of people I interacted with were angry right off the bat. The company had no marketing so every person I talked to had no idea who we were. The response from management was that I just needed to be "more persistent", and that if I kept bothering the same person, eventually he/she would sign up. I couldn't sleep, couldn't eat. I was damn near suicidal. I thought there was no way life could be like this.
Also I had to figure out everything on my own. My phone did not work at first and managements response was that I needed to call IT and work it out with them. Copier, computer, etc... When I finally did make my first sale there was a 20 page package the customer had to fill out. I had no idea what to do and management told me to just figure it out. In spite of everything I did make a few sales.
I got fired after 6 months "not enough sales"
I recently found out that the company is going under soon and everyone is quitting. And I currently have my own business and make $100k a year.
Fucking idiots.
Restocking supermarkets is really shitty, you wake up at 5 in the morning for a wage of €3 an hour

I work at a clothing store. A fat woman wanted to return an absolute dirty blouse that she bought one month ago. It was covered with stains, dust and probably left in the dirt outside. I said you can't return this and then the bitch claims she bought it like that and then had the nerve to blame it on the cashier for letting her buy it in such a filthy condition. She says she has bad eye sight. BULL FUCKING SHIT. I said no. She asked for a manager and I'm glad the manager turned her fat ass away but dealing with customers has made me lose faith in humanity.
>tfw only pulling in an embarrassing $100k
That's not great but it's something. I do Uber every now and then. It's fun and get to meet a lot of hot bitches. They offer me their Juuls. I swear to God, every bitch Juuls.

So did he survive?
wow a job like that must be pretty stressful.
how do you relax or seek peace when you finish a shift like that?
You choose to be dominated in sex.
You choose to be dominated in work.
What's wrong here?
If you dislike your boss, take as much order as possible in cb, or best, told him "either I ask for a fiscal control or you give me the position you told me to".
And dump that bitch.
>currently have my own business and make $100k a year.
any advice for someone in a similar situation?
Never understood why women care about losing a man. She can always get another one.
well done

You haven't been doing this very long, have you?
At this point, why not leave LA and take a job at a cheaper, more pleasant place?
Because the cost of living is proportional. 50k in LA with 2k rent is just as good as 25k or 30k and 1k rent. Already priced in
Should have dragged them to court.
They cant fire you for hours they dont pay you.
I love being fucking rich and seeing wagecucks like yourself acting like they know how to spend better than people making money. how do you think we got in this position?
get the hell out of LA.

I used to work in a really shitty factory
Morale was terrible, along with working conditions
At one point, someone sent a recommendation to HR saying that they should just put a revolving door at the front of the building because employee turnover was so fucking high that new employees would quit within a week of starting
Being young with virtually no work experience, I was pretty much forced to take this job and keep it, so the managers took advantage of me and made me run the worst machines in the building
And by the way, all the machines in this building were absolute crap, they would always crash and we had like one maintenance guy who was stretched too thin and went around talking about killing himself
But my machines were the worst. They crashed more than any other machine and there was nothing I could do about it. One guy who ran those machines when I was sick told me that he would quit if he had to do that every day. I shit you not, I was doing the job of two people
But then we would have a lot of people call in sick, so I would have to run my main machines and the machines of the missing employees. Running around almost giving myself a heart attack. I had to go to the bathroom sometimes just to sit down and take a breather when no one was looking. Of course, by the time I got back, all my machines would be crashed.
This company was virtually dominated by HR bureaucracy. So it was impossible for you to get a decent pay raise, no matter how well you performed. Pay raise windows only opened up once a year, and if you got one, it was like $0.05 I shit you not.
Mandatory overtime was ungodly. For 3 months straight they had us working 12-hour days, 7 days a week. Around this time, I started drinking hard liquor and developed alcoholism. I sank into really bad depression, and at one point even started praying to God that I could find SOME other way to pay the bills
Then one day, as if an answer to my prayers, an old friend I hadn't seen in years called me up. Said he worked at a factory (turned out to be similar job to mine: CNC machinist) and said he would get me the job if I just applied. The pay was much better: $17 p/h, whereas the shitty job was $10 p/h.
I applied, got called in for an interview, and I went to the job interview immediately after work, in the shitty factory job uniform lol. I got offered a job on the spot. I immediately stopped going to the other job, didn't tell them I quit, didn't even answer any phone calls. Just blew them off entirely.
Nowadays, I'm a college student studying computer science and I work part-time as a website maintainer. I'm sure you can understand how grateful I am.
I looked up that old shitty factory recently on indeed.com. They have new job postings all the time, and employees always leave terrible fucking reviews, saying it's the worst job they had ever had, and some hinting that the company is in a lot of trouble and will probably shut down any day now. Good.

Damn, this is future memoir material. Write a novel based on it, but emphasis that sentence as a main theme throughout the book. It will be a future classic like The Catcher in the Rye or some shit
really have been looking @ NV, ID, and TX
Yeah, but everything is more expensive across the board as well. Insurance, taxes, living expenses, commodities, etc. Not to mention that crime and homelessness is going up, the median IQ is far below average and the chinese are taking over. Fuck CA
no shit I might look into it

No idiot he died... it's in the second sentence.
duh
If the cash orders aren't in the system and he acts like they don't exist you should just take like 20-50% of the cash and pocket it yourself. Although the money's probably better of in the hands of a casino owner than some femdom bitch so idk just kys.
I can't understand how people can live like this. Even NEET is a higher aspiration.
thanks breh
